Question : Setting up a new NIC on Solaris 10 x86....

I would like to install an Intel Pro/1000 XT server adapter on Solaris 10 x86.  I downloaded the driver pkg and installed it then tried to run "ifconfig eth0 plumb up" and got "eth0: No such file or directory."  I noticed that after installing the pkg, there is still no device listed in /dev.  Is there a series of steps I have to go through to get it to recognize the device and bring the interface up?  Can I do this through the GUI?

You need to perform a reconfigure boot.

touch /reconfigure
reboot

or
b -r  (at boot up, see http:Q_20277981.html) for details.

then run:
prtconf -D

to see the interface name.
then run ifconfig or edit the files to fix it up. (/etc/hosts, /etc/hostname.interfacename ..)
